[rastaman]

45 to 48lbs for deer and hogs.

[snag]

55#-60# recurves. It is law in Oregon that you shoot 50# or more for elk. I started in trad. archery with 50# and have, over 3yrs, worked up to 60#.

[BOWMARKS]

Right around 45# is what I handle the best and it works on the deer!

[Bill Sant]

50 at 30 for everything from 100 pound blacktails, to 700 pound grizz, to 1200 pound moose,  My BW does it all.

[Jim Picarelli]

Depending on what bow I'm hunting with at the time...46-54 @ 27"

[wojo124]

48-53# for me,but mostly 48#.

[Archer Fanatic]

50-54#

[ArrowAtomik]

Just choose your shots carefully.

[mcgroundstalker]

47# - 51# at my T-Rex 26" draw.....  :p

[House]

I started out about 7 years ago with a 50# bow, but am currently shooting 58# and a new 63# Dryad bow that I love!
I primarily hunt turkey, deer, and elk (with some bear thrown in for good measure)

Travis

[Barney]

55/60 depending....

[tarponnut]

45-50# is plenty for deer and is a lot more fun to practice with than 55#(for me).
Also, when practicing for hunting I rarely shoot more than 20 arrows, often just one or two(right before a hunt).

[Teacher_of_the_Arcane]

Hi All,

My hunting bows have always (circa 1970) been 50#.

[Doug in MN]

I will just be going over what has been said, (Look at Robs post again).

Darn if about 45-50 just does not flat work for them darn DEERS.

Find some of Charlies posts (SHARP IS INDEED WHERE IT IS AT)

I've sold off all of my too heavy for me bows.
At 60 your bone and muscle seem to relax a bit.
Still shoot 45-55 comfortably but have settled in on a few favorites that are 48 to 52 at my
28 1/2" draw.
I can hold them comfortably at full draw for an extended period.
Just rec'd 2 new to me GN's, a 52@29 Bushbow and a 51@28 Ghost.
These will no doubt be my Go To bows.
Just heard the Tom calling in the Clan to roost in the back yard.
Sunday morning should be exciting.
